BlackFlash publishes writing that explores ideas and theories behind contemporary art in Canada. Articles express well-researched, educated, and insightful ideas and opinions. BlackFlash is not an academic journal. We have a diverse readership and we ask that articles be written in accessible language that does not presume our readers understand specialized academic jargon or concepts.
We are unable to review unsolicited submissions at this time.
We recently launched a call for pitches for the upcoming Spring 2025 issue. Moving forward, each issue will feature a blend of commissioned pieces and articles selected from our open call. Please consider joining our e-mail list or following us on social media to be made aware of these future opportunities.
Please Note:
- Before crafting a response to a call for pitches, please familiarize yourself with BlackFlash’s content.
- Due to our publishing schedule, BlackFlash does not publish reviews.
- BlackFlash Magazine does not employ freelance photographers. We will not reply to any submissions of this nature.
- Please keep in mind that BlackFlash is no longer exclusively about photography, video, and new media art. We have extended our editorial mandate to include installation, social practice, performance, painting, drawing and sculpture. We accept pitches that cover the breadth of contemporary art practices.
